This is why I prefer word count over pages. Pages depend on the size of the page, the font and font size, and spacing. One page on my 6" KOBO with Lexend is going to be different than on a 7" Kindle with a different font, font size, and different spacing. And for print books, it's going to be different between mass market paperback, paperback, and hardcover.

I figure I read about 100k words a week, so I use word count to get an idea for how long a book will take me to read before deciding to read it.

I'm good with Calibre calculating out pages for display purposes.
